    I miss hockey. Why is every other sport so boring and terrible?

    I miss playing hockey 😭. Every other sport is boring and terrible

    I played centre until Junior C (4th line best line). What pos did/do you play?

    I played lets get all the siblings and neighbors down to the outdoor rink at the park :) My dad had us all in skates as toddlers and we’d play 3-4 nights a week all winter long. Some of my fondest memories involve those years.

    My high school didn’t have girls hockey until my junior year and i was too shy to go out for it. I was a perfectionist and terrified of failure and/or getting out of my comfort zone. The coach was my phy ed teacher, and he took me aside during gym one day and tried to encourage me to join for ten minutes. That memory still feels nice.

    are u sure you are not canadan

    But I didn’t even apologize once

    Come on down to Montreal, Quebec, y'all! It's the most fun...in two at LEAST languages. And @CacoEther I'm totally down for an alley game as long as I'm the one who gets to yell "CAR!!" (Well, "CHAR!!" since it's Quebec)

    I’m Norwegian so i do my fair share of apologizing too, although it comes out more like “Ope!”

    I’d love to live in beautiful Canada but y’all quit takin my calls one pandemic ago

    You are far from useless. It may seem minuscule, but you make a lot of people smile, and you serve as a shinning example of true bravery.

    Thank you so much for saying that 💗 It means more than you know. I'm just a little hard on myself sometimes. I lost alot of things in the past year because of my illness, things I worked my *kitten* off for. I've always been a workaholic and now I can barely go for a 1 hour walk. I know it will get better but it's just been a *kitten* year.

    I completely understand.

    On another note. I started a plant based diet today. My oncologist and his team referred me to a vegan nutritionist and I went to see her yesterday, I started today and the tofu I ate for dinner that was supposed to taste like chicken tasted nothing like chicken 😅 This isn't going to be easy.

    I can't even imagine giving up meat. Or cheese. But meat AND cheese? I don't think I could do it.

    Nope. Don't think I could do it at all!

    I'm tired and trying to figure out how to decorate a cake for my son's birthday tomorrow. I know basics, not making character faces out of icing. :grimace:

    Also, with all the talk between myself and my stepmom, I'm wondering if maybe it would benefit me more to go have a routine exam done at some point even though I was told I could go five years or more without one because my results last time came back normal. Hers did, too.. and it was only the new(er) doctor wanting to take a small biopsy based on a hunch that even caught her cancer at the stage it was at (Stage III).

    What kind of cake are you thinking of? You could always make cute cupcakes? On my daughtelast birthday I baked a bunch of cupcakes and her and her friends all decorated them. They really enjoyed that. I made kind of a candy bar with all kinds of icing and treats, it was a hit.

    About your routine exam... from my experience, it's always best to go even if you've been told you don't have to. When I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer I was told a couple months before that I was cancer free. Little did I know that it came back with a vengeance. It's always best to prevent so it can't do you any harm ❤

    It's going to be so hard 😅 Meat... not so bad, but cheese, I LOVE cheese! I'm hoping I can find some recipes I can enjoy.

    Sadly, my child is always ultra specific about the characters or types of cakes he wants, down to the weird flavors. He wants Jibanyan from Yokai Watch this year and I can't weasel out of it and just put figurines on the cake this time like I have in the past. :grimace:

    And I'm thinking you're right: I'll have to schedule an appointment anyway as I believe a routine issue I get (and am aware of) is acting up and needs looking at again, anyway. Bleh.

    I’ve had Chao Cheeses which are plant based and sold in Canada. I’m not plant based but I enjoyed the cheese in a sandwich. Best of luck with this transition. It did wonders for my parent’s Heath concerns, @Miss_Chiev0us. Just took a lot of getting used to.

    Thank you, I know it's not going to be easy. I've tried it back in April when I was done with my chemo treatments but I only did it for about 1 month. I felt good, just didn't stick to it. Now I have someone to guide me through it, I'm hoping I can stick to it. May be hard with everyone eating meat in the house 😅

    I got some vegan cheese at groceries today but didn't try it yet.

    This previous version of yourself that you allude to? I can't fathom. It doesn't compute. 🤔

    The @Miss_Chiev0us I've read since my time in the forums this year is consistently funny, alluring and seems so very resilient.

    As for going vegan, it can be impactful to your energy levels and do wonders for skin. That said, depending on what type you choose (or how "deep" you go), it's easy to maintain or gain weight by accident... especially with processed vegan foods.

    At least that was my experience near the end of being a dietary vegan for over a decade. There's been many products introduced to the market since that time (like better mock cheeses and meats and sooooo many luscious desserts 😔).

    Your nutritionist may suggest you stick with your own recipes for a while though. There are many great cookbooks and recipe sites. Vegans also have a wide range of tricks (pressing tofu before marinating, spice blends, nutritional yeast, etc) that make meals outstanding!

    It doesn't have to be all learned all at once and I hope you enjoy the process this time around now that you also have some professional guidance!

    In many ways, if I may suggest this, you are doing more for people now than you might have been when you were working.

    You are a light and testimony to a great and determined spirit. You are loving and supportive, welcoming and kind... Even to those who may never say a word to you.

    From time to time I'd peek in here, but I was still too wounded to stay for long. Every time I peeked in, I was touched in some way by something you shared or posted.

    You may never realize just how many lives you've touched just by being here and sharing your story and heart. You are valued here (and not just by the people who interact with you!)

    I hope that wasn't too sappy (or creepy).

    I think what you said was perfect and portrayed a lot of others' feelings. :)

    But cheese alternatives can be (almost) as good!! I ate a slice of vegan american cheese by itself and was amazed that it tasted just like regular cheese. And when you add vegan cheeses to casseroles, etc., I cannot tell the difference. My dd makes her mac n cheese using cashews(too much work for me) and nutritional yeast and dh, who's clearly a meat/cheese lover, said it was the best he'd ever had.
    Good luck!! You can do this :) We already know how strong you are. Eating vegan cheese will be super simple. :)
